Pranam 214 Better to lose a jest than a friend: absolute truth. No one would care about the joker. Joker provides entertainment on words and deeds irrespective of the space and time. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Jokers are few but they are needed. Friends are many and there are mutual needs. A kid gives out a lot of fun only as a kid; but when grown to the height of shoulder it is advised to treat him as a friend only. A kid joke is different from the fun of a grown up joker. And to end with B G 18 .64: Chapter 18: Conclusion-The Perfection of Renunciation TEXT 64 sarva-guhyatamam bhuyah srnu me paramam vacah isto 'si me drdham iti tato vaksyami te hitam <https://asitis.com/18/64.html#10616> Because you are My very dear friend, I am speaking to you the most confidential part of knowledge. Hear this from Me, for it is for your benefit. KR IRS 9621
